A 1941 impressive classic Beach Cottage loaded with style and character. I am the 3rd owner in summer 2017 having been previously owned by Myrtle who passed in 2006, inherited by her son Bob. To respect their memory it is now named "Myrtle's Place". Many people said to me you must knock it down and build a giant new building explaining it will be a better investment rather than remodeling costs. I LOVE the character and story of Myrtle's Beach Cottage and was determined to keep the character. The design was continuously adapted throughout the rebuild effort which took over 12 months (finished May 2019) always considering the balance between modern amenities for guests and retaining the original classic beach bungalow character. So many of these older cottages have gone forever, but Myrtle's Place lives on....

How to book the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Myrtle's Place - Gorgeous 1941 updated Beach Cottage with boat slip! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
